Weigh In Update

My last update I announced a 2 pound loss. I'm a couple weeks behind so the following will show those weeks:

Last posted weigh in 5/17: 173.2 -2.0
                                5/24: 173.0 -0.2
                                5/31: 174.2 +1.2
                                  6/7: 174.0 -0.2

To be totally honest, I didn't fully track after the week of 5/17. I've been hit or miss in the tracking department. The 1.2 pound gain was the week of PMS I had before/during my period. That's a pretty normal reflection for me lately. I have a small gain each month that correlates to my hormones and monthly cycle. Would that gain each month continue if I would commit to 100% tracking? Maybe-maybe not.

Tomorrow is an important day for me. I am going for an appointment with an endocrinologist. I scheduled the appointment over 6 months ago, when my primary care physician said once again that my thyroid levels "look fine." They very well may be fine, but I want a second opinion.

My story began August 14, 2007 when I joined weight watchers at 176.0. Over the course of 7 months, I got down to 140 pounds. I looked great and felt great. Fast forward to May 2009, I had started a course of medications, and hit 171.4 while still following the WW Momentum Plan. Well here I am exactly two years later, and I weigh 174.0. In the last 24 months, my weight has been between 169.0 and 181.4. I have pretty much maintained, with the average of being right at 173.5 pounds.

During the last 2 years, I have found that regardless of being a strict WW or not, I have maintained (in my opinion.) I have other symptoms that lead me to believe that something is wrong. I am anxious to hear what the specialist has to say tomorrow. I may explain things a little further then.

*Note: my last two weigh ins have been on Thursdays because of Tuesday commitments, and I wanted to try a new leader. I don't know what day I will weigh in this week.
